Hives...Allergies!!

My last Boxer would get hives that looked just like that for numerous reasons. He was allergic to pollen, certain flowers, bee stings, other insect bites, certain foods and fruits, and many more. My vet and I were never able to pinpoint all of his allergies.. but thankfully some were quite obvious. The hives would range from mild to worse than what your photos show, and he always looked the worst after a bee sting. His hives would go away really quickly though.. usually within 5 to 10 minutes of popping up. I rarely had to use Benedryl, and so I never tried any other allergy medication. I would definitely check with the vet about that.

Good luck! I know you can't help but feel bad for them when it happens.. they look terrible!
